Kentucky Self-Help Packet WITH Children

This packet is for use by individuals who are seeking a divorce from a spouse with whom they have minor children (children under 18 or 18 and still in high school). If you have a question about whether your children are children of the marriage, you should call Legal Aid and speak with an advocate. This packet contains all the forms necessary to file for divorce and ultimately secure a divorce decree. However, the individual forms that you need will depend upon your particular circumstances. You must read the instructions first so you may determine which forms are best suited for your case. You will NOT need all the forms. Self-Help forms are best used by individuals who do not have contested custody or support issues; whose case does not involve significant assets, debts or retirement accounts; or, any issues that will require complex court hearings.
